Oh my goodness, where to begin. I am sitting in front of this monster, I mean machine... Wondering, how it got to be 11:43 at night on Wednesday? Seeing as how I unpacked a 50+ lb. creature yesterday, and just got it all set up and working, um, now? So, I have been at it for 48 hours.
I think I literally lose days, weeks, months, maybe even... Okay Okay, I know, melodrama, but, it seems like time slips out of my fingers whenever I do something computer related. The aliens are sucking my life away through the ions. Or, something like that. Anyhow, enough rambling. I have NEWS!!!!
What do I mean by all of this nonsense? Well, not only are the images above available in prints, in the shop. They are available as canvas prints. As, a matter of fact. All of my prints, (except the predominantly black and white illustrations) will now be printed on archival matte poly/cotton canvas. Isn't that exciting? I wish you could see them in person. They are incredible. I can't believe how nice they turn out. They'd better, with this fancy printer and such... I hope I made a good move. I am still wide-eyed...
Here are just a few samples of what I printed to see how the printer worked...(click on any image to enlarge) Of course, the pigment on the canvas and the quality, can in no way be captured by my camera....But, I tried...
So, that is where I have disappeared to. I feel like the worst blog-friend ever. You won't believe what I did to myself, on top of all of this? I am throwing Mr. Lovee a birthday party on Saturday. The house is a disaster. The studio is beyond a disaster. My room, don't even ask. Disaster. What to do???? Will you all come help me?? I am a really good cook, I'll feed you real well?? I know, you are saying, "Maybe next time...." Okay okay, I won't pressure you too much....
My life is chaos these days. Mr. Lovee and my dad have the same birthday. So, I will throw the party on Saturday night. Then, I will get up early on Sunday and drive two hours away, to my parents' house, to celebrate Father's day and my dad's birthday. YIKES! Then I have driving school next week. But Mr. Lovee is "goin' ta Napa" for a jam session in a week. So, I will be free and wild. I mean, free and saintly. ;) (About driving school, yes, I got a ticket. My first one since I was 18, be nice, I am really sad about it, and the cop was mean, he made me cry)
Things that are making me happy! The ever tricklin' in of treasures from the Trader Joe's Bag, swap:
From Grinnin Lil's, I am so in love with this little guy. My heart broke and fell in love from the moment I opened the box! Oh, I love him. He is sitting in the nook of my legs that are crossed, on the chair whilst typing... LOVE HIM! And, I just ate another choco...And, the Vegimite! Yumm? hehehe. THANK YOU!!!!
Then, from Miss Shell, of Sacred Heart Arts! Hi Shell, yes, it finally arrived! Phew. Treasures abound. I love it all! And, look at that silhouette! Yippee! My walls are going to look extra special!!! xxo
Oh, and I must tell you! I have a baby!! No silly, not the kind that whines and cries and does other nasty things... The kind that is cute as a button, sits still, and fits in the palm of my hand..... Yep, all the way from the other side of the globe! Thank you Miss Anastasia, of Anastasia - Drawing & Dreaming! I love her! I just love her!
So, off we go to sleep. With a lovely cup of tea, courtesy of Miss A. More treasures to come. And, they are good! All of you, who have participated in the swap, have totally floored me with your treats! Incredible!!
